Precipitation summary… There was no precip in the last 24 hours, but we did better than I expected from the last system. Storm totals are below.
Forecast discussion…
There is nothing on radar Wednesday morning.
Forecast highlights…
*** Fantastic weather the rest of the week! ***
*** Slight chance for a few spotty showers each afternoon next week. ***
Rest of Wednesday through Sunday… Upper-level flow out of the northwest and west is bringing us dry, stable air. We’ll have lots of sun, warmer temps, breezy afternoons, and dry weather.
Temps… Wednesday highs will be in the high 60s to mid-70s and lows will be in the high 20s to mid-30s. Thursday and Friday highs will be in the mid-70s to low 80s and lows will be in the low to high 30s. Saturday and Sunday highs will be near 70 to the high 70s and lows will be near 30 to the high 30s.
Winds… Afternoon gusts will be around 25mph.
Monday and Tuesday… Less stable air with a little more moisture will give us a slight chance for a few spotty afternoon showers, mostly over the mountains. Consider yourself lucky if you get enough rain to wet the ground.
Temps… Highs will be near 70 to the high 70s and lows will be near 30 to the high 30s.
Winds… Afternoon gusts will be around 20mph.
The 8-14 day period… The jet stream and storm track are pushing well to our north, as they should this time of year. Marginally unstable air and a little bit of moisture will give us a slight chance for spotty afternoon showers and a thunderstorm or two. We’ll be playing the rain lottery.
The next post will be on Friday or Saturday. Enjoy the great weather!
